No he should not play against the Kiwis, he has not played for almost 2 months whilst nursing knee injury.
He should walk away from the test series, get into rehab so as to be ready for next season with Wigan.
Lockers is a prime example of a player who has carried a "slight" injury through an Autumn Tri Series and then missed several matches when the regular season starts.

In agreement, Tomkins should pull out. He can't be right if he's still not fit and it obviously needs some attention.

Still at least the guy is giving it everything to get his body out on the field. Keiron Cunningham would have been 'beached' in Tenerife by now.

Not in any way anti SB, but if he is going to play any part against the Kiwis, it needs to be limited minutes and off the bench to see how he goes. No good to England or Wigan if he gets crocked through doing too much after a long break and whilst carrying an injury.

Shame we don't have a much stronger French team. I know they were missing a few but the result was never going to be in any doubt. They seem to have a problem with RU pinching their best talent. They used to play with such flair
